I desperately want to see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Theatres. But I can't go anywhere without my G/F and she doesn't want to see a movie with Subtitles (you wouldn't belive the crap she gave me about Ed Wood being in B/W)

But,she will let me go to see CT, HD if I take her to see Sugar and Spice. I have seen enough ads for this to know its going to be bad. Its an MTV movie for god's sake. I was forced to sit through the mass stupidity of Save The Last Dance (wow,the ghetto can change a girl in 3 days) (you mean to tell me theres a club in the ghetto that doesn't have any pot or escasty) And I don't think I can take another dumb movie.

Sugar & Spice may be eye-gougingly horrible, but it's only going to last 90 minutes or so. The pain will be over, the chills will subside. Now imagine you wait until video to see CT,HD. You are watching the amazing action scenes and slapping yourself saying "My God, this would have been so good in the theatre!" I have a friend who has never forgiven himself for skipping Jurassic Park in the theatre. So, you have to ask yourself, is 90 minutes of intense agony worse than an entire lifetime of dull pain?

Of course you could pull some Mission: Impossible type stuff and sneak out to watch the movie, but that is a particularly loaded minefield. . .
